Microsoft Windows 3.0 PC WORLD TestDrive - VGA
Released in 1990 by PC World
For DOS

Image quality: Unmodified

The Windows 3.0 Test Drive is a demo floppy set that was sent out for 
free with issues of PC World. It consists of a stripped down minimal 
Windows 3.0 install and a PC World interactive sideshow.  There was a 
separate version for EGA and VGA as well as 1.2mb and 1.44mb disk.

This version is specifically for PCs with VGA video. PCs with EGA
video must use the EGA version of the test drive. Other video 
adapters are not supported.

The included Windows files are crippled to prevent running normal
Windows 3.0 software. It is possible to run other Windows 3.0
applications by inserting the string "DEMOAPP" in to an EXE's
application description header.
